Well it sets an upper bound on compute requirements at ‘simulate 10^27 atoms for thirty years’ remains to be seen if what we can optimize away ever converges with what’s feasible to build.

It would become Twitter.

I agree strongly with your gut reaction. I personally use it as the archive of record whenever I digitize some media that would otherwise be lost. I use it when trying to establish how something looked in the past. I don’t need IA to go out and pick losing fights with publishers at the expense of the excellent services they already provide.

It should be noted that if you want digital book loans Libby is fine.

N64 runs ok on pi? Since when? Which PI?

When I search for stuff I don’t seem to get anything.

The nice thing about Samba is that you can find clients for everything.

I’m trying to picture how the other room music is supposed to work. Are you cranking the volume on your TV speakers loud enough to hear in the other toom, or using the PC to control an extra set or far away speakers, or did people used to wire their houses with everywhere speakers controlled from a single receiver?

Great video. Haven’t finished it yet, but did he ever explain why you’d want your media center to be luggable? I feel like if they’d ditched the screen and keyboard they would have something better than a modern streaming box except in 2006, but maybe they sold something like that too.

So like systemd but ten times more dramatic.

I still don’t understand why IA picked a fight with publishers with the emergency library.

IA provides a really valuable service and they’re an incredibly juicy target. Going on anti-copyright crusades isn’t their mission.

MacOS was just about as jank as Windows 9x by my recollection.

The screen was nice, the USB support was nice. I didn’t hate the keyboard, though I was used to an IBM Model M so I hammered those keys…

For the tower defense enthusiast.

If students hide their phones instead of being distracted by them, isn’t that mission accomplished?

Came here to post Tech Won’t Save Us.

RAIL has its own problems-the use restrictions make it very different from normal open source models.

He’s not wrong to call Mastodon users weirdos I suppose, but I wanted to talk to fellow weirdos anyway so it serves my purposes well.

I think it’s a base model 3, no gobs of memory. I don’t use it for anything especially taxing, just file storage and occasionally streaming music or low-resolution video. The bottleneck is the slow WD Archive hard drive.

My setup is a raspberry pi with a large external hard drive running smbd, and it works fine.

Seconding Feedly.

Yeah, that is admittedly a big drawback for YT
